Off the Clock w/Jon Eks
My name is Jon Eks and I spent more than a decade talking to people about work on the award-winning Jon of All Trades Podcast. I’m sick of talking about work. I want to talk about everything else in our lives. Men are traditionally not good at this. So, I’m talking to people I love, respect, and admire. I’m trying to embody the axiom “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Expect candor, vulnerability, profanity, and a wide range of topics.

#OTCQuickie: Go See a Damn Doctor
#OTCQuickies are mini solo episodes where I address a question or a topic in service of trying to be a good dude in the world. Today's topic is:
Get Over Yourself and See a Damn Doctor
I went from trying to choke to death in my sleep 50+ times an hour to having only 5 obstructive apnea events per night. I am no longer in the express lane hurtling toward an early death, and the reason I'm not is because I made the conscious choice to go see a doctor and fix what was wrong with me.
On this #OTCQuickie, I share my insights from grappling with sleep apnea, encourage my fellow dudes to get over themselves and go to a doctor. Seriously, the doctor already knows you're fat and that you drink too much, deal with it.
I also kick off this show with a brief discussion about Charlie Kirk and why you won't see me weighing in on him in public, gun culture in general, the incendiary rhetoric that comes from the very top in this country, and why it's okay to sit some of this cultural dialogue out.
